August & Edwin
You and my daughter seem to be close.
...is that why you wanted to speak?
Relax, it's not a problem. Just an observation.
I haven't earned the right to have a say in my daughter's life.
Yet she's working here with some pretty big strings attached, isn't she?
I'm just glad she seems to be coming around. I was shocked when she accepted
her share of the business out of the blue, but now I understand I have Kathy to
thank for appealing to her pragmatic side.
[...] I wanted to speak with you honestly today and get a better sense of who you are.
Why?
You and my daughter seem to be close.
It's more like--
At least he doesn't list any demands when it comes to his daughter's involvement. Keep an eye on her - make sure she's safe - I want her to be happy - he asks none of those things. He's glad she joined the business, that's it. Maybe it's his way of giving Edwin credit for Hana's 180 when he pours him "the finest single malt you'll ever taste", maybe not.
I, for one, don't think August necessarily wants/needs her to participate in all the extracurricular activities to learn the ropes but I am not certain he would flip out as much as others do in this thread if she did.
